[60-Meters] List Admin Change

[Doug W7FDF]

Dear 60-Meters Membership:

Its been several months since I accepted the Administrative functions of 
the 60-Meters list and its now I feel I can no longer maintain this 
responsibility. I've been a licensed Amateur Radio Operator since 1959 
[high school days], have seen the evolution of the many new technologies 
we currently enjoy in this great hobby and for me its time to move on to 
another new hobby, scuba diving.

Yes, at my young age of 64 [as of yesterday] and looking forward to 
retirement in 2009 with my present employer. I need to get into an 
endeavor that over time will benefit not just me [health wise] but also 
my wife of 31 years, who by the way, has never had an interest in Ham 
Radio. So you can imagine two things here. Traveling around the world 
with my wife and seeing the sites of a lifetime and at times, sharing 
the underwater world amongst the varied marine life so abundant around 
our planet.

Indeed I have many interests but Amateur Radio has been the predominant 
and main hobby for almost 48 years with Photography a very close second. 
There was a time that I thought I would get involved with general 
aviation and get my private pilots license but, learning the ongoing 
cost to fly. It was just too expensive for my not so deep pockets.

So as of today October 29th, 2007 I hereby release and turn over my 
admin functions to the Mailman.Qth list owner and hope he will find a 
replacement in the very near future.

Thanks to all current 60-Meters list members for your input and posts 
over the many months and good luck in your future activities in Amateur 
Radio.

PS: Over the coming weeks I will be selling much of my HF, VHF and UHF 
Ham Radio equipment including several mobile pieces of gear and antennas 
obviously to help pay for the scuba and underwater photography 
equipment, to include several repeater components and subsystems. I will 
create an inventory/for sale list today beginning October 29th of 
everything I have. I should have this list completed by Friday November 
2nd. If anyone desires to purchase what is on this list, please feel 
free to _email me direct_ as soon as you have the time. Beginning 
Saturday November 3rd I will then place everything on my list [excluding 
any items already sold] onto the eBAY auction website and go from there. 
This list BTW will include actual asking price of the item with shipping 
charges via US Priority Mail for the continental United States. Anyone 
living outside the U.S. who wishes to purchase a piece of equipment 
obviously I will have to do some research on shipping charges to your 
specific country. NOTE: every piece of Ham Radio equipment is in good 
working order and I will include any power cables, mounting brackets, 
microphones, associated instruction booklets where available. Everything 
goes!!
